Polpettone Di Tacchino (turkey Roll)

One little lie leads to another, and pretty soon you’re telling whoppers. To soothe your sense of guilt, you lie to yourself too. Maybe you tell yourself you’re not really lying but just “repackaging the facts.” Maybe you take up the motto “You can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.” Maybe you repeat false philosophies you’ve heard in the classroom, like “Acts must be judged by their consequences.” Or maybe you just make excuses: “I know the end doesn’t usually justify the means, but my case is special.” Before long you’ve told so many lies that you can’t even remember the truth. Worse yet, people who forget the truth usually go on the forget the Truth – and I think you know Who I mean!

INSTRUCTIONS

Slice turkey breast and open it like a book. Flatten with blade of
large knife or with meat mallet until it forms a large sheet.  Sprinkle
with garlic, parsley and salt and pepper on both sides. Set  aside.
Place ground meat, bread crumbs, eggs, 2 tablespoons chicken broth and
pistachios in a bowl. Add a half teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper
and mix.  Spread mixture over open turkey breast, then roll up the
short way,  as you would for a jelly roll. Tie with string.  Place
sage, rosemary and olive oil in a skillet. Brown turkey roll on  all
sides. Add the wine and raise the heat to let alcohol evaporate.  Add a
half cup of broth and simmer, tightly covered, for about two  hours,
turning only once. Add more broth if necessary.  Remove string before
slicing. Serve with grapan juices strained over  the slices.  From
